The image displays jagged and overlapping shapes in red, accented by black and white strokes. The shapes resemble layered flags or cloaks with stars and crosses. Patches of blue contrast with the red in the lower part, suggesting movement like flowing water or skies. Scattered lines and splatters throughout the piece create a sense of chaotic assembly, with patterns that hint at human forms.
